President Obama goes after the obstructionists. It is a must-watch:





I'll quote this report in full:

In a sharp departure from Bush Administration policy, the Obama Justice Department on Friday informed the Supreme Court it is dismissing a challenge on rules dealing with allowable mercury emissions from power plants.

The end result is that the Environmental Protection Agency "has decided consistent with the court of appeals' ruling to develop appropriate standards to regulate power plant emissions," the filing said.

The EPA had set up new rules under which it would drop some power plants as the sources of mercury emissions, loosening more rigorous controls set during the Clinton administration. The appeals court had essentially struck down that new regime, and the Bush administration had appealed.

The decision to withdraw the case leaves the older, more stringent rules in place.

So other than Obama's complete failure to rein in the bloated and unconstitutional Faith-Based Initiative, he's done very well by the country. Unfortunately for me, the support of Christianity by a secular government lowers my approval grade of Obama to a B from an A-.
